When the pandemic began, it was also the start of a significant change in how people work. In 2020, the Office for National Statistics confirmed 25. 9% of the UK population were working from home. This was an increase from 2019, when just 12.4% of the country did the same.
And although the world has opened up since then, not everyone has gone back to the office full-time, with the most recent government data showing that 85% of adults working from home would prefer a hybrid approach of both home and office working in the future. It seems some employers have taken note, too, with online job adverts including terms related to homeworking increasing at a faster rate than total adverts.
With so many workers now plying their trades from their homes, there’s a whole new set of challenges for employees to conquer.
If you’re someone who’d like advice about balancing how they work with life at home, we’ve got you covered. This handy guide will walk you through what you need to do to ensure you’re making the most of working outside the office.
